## 2 Samuel 21:9-13 in Context (Verses 6–16 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/6) Let seven men of his sons be delivered unto us, and we will hang them up unto the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, *whom* the LORD did choose. And the king said, I will give *them*.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/7) But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the LORD’s oath that *was* between them, between David and Jonathan the son of Saul.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/8) But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of Michal the daughter of Saul, whom she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:**
 
 [9 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/9) And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before the LORD: and they fell *all* seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first *days*, in the beginning of barley harvest.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/10) ¶ And Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth, and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day, nor the beasts of the field by night.
 
 [11 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/11) And it was told David what Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/12) ¶ And David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, which had stolen them from the street of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them, when the Philistines had slain Saul in Gilboa:
 
 [13 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/13) And he brought up from thence the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son; and they gathered the bones of them that were hanged.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/14) And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son buried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the sepulchre of Kish his father: and they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was intreated for the land.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/15) ¶ Moreover the Philistines had yet war again with Israel; and David went down, and his servants with him, and fought against the Philistines: and David waxed faint.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/2-samuel/21/16) And Ishbi-benob, which *was* of the sons of the giant, the weight of whose spear *weighed* three hundred *shekels* of brass in weight, he being girded with a new *sword*, thought to have slain David.**
